Naval Task Force Was Approaching Sri Lankan Coast
Iranian Navy Spokesman Rear Admiral Siavosh Jarreh said
that an Australian aircraft approached Iran’s 24th naval task force today as it
approached the Sri Lankan coast. The task force, comprised of IRIS Sabalan
(73), a frigate, and IRIS Kharg (431), a replenishment ship,
reportedly warned off the Australian reconnaissance plane. The Iranian ships
were returning from a visit to China's Zhangjiagang port.
“Immediately after receiving the warning, the Australian
reconnaissance plane changed its flight course, but it began dropping submarine
detection devices…all of which was picked up by our marines,” Adm. Jarreh said.

Began dropping submarine detection "devices," i.e SONAR buoys? Okay...
